Sumario:First edition of a tenth-eleventh century parchment sheet found during excavations in the Monastery of Naqlun (Dayr al-Malâk, Fayoum). The sheet contains informal copies of two hymns in Fayoumi-Sahidic. The longest of these is an acrostic hymn on the Dormition of the Virgin Mary, which reflects the direct influence of the rich Coptic Dormition literature. Both hymns are interesting witnesses to the Sahidic Antiphonary.
